COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – The Sixth Annual Walk A Mile In Her Shoes Branch County Coalition Against Domestic Violence Prevention And Awareness fundraiser Saturday was another big success. Kim Hemker, BCCADV Director, said the preliminary total from pledges and donations from this year’s event tops the $35,000 raised in 2016.
The weekend rains held off as dozens of men walked in women’s shoes through downtown Coldwater, and while Hemker didn’t have available the number of people who made the walk, the turnout may have been the largest since the event started.
She thanked the Coalition team that works year round to allow the Walk to happen, along with all the sponsors who she said make it possible, adding that the sponsors believe ours is a caring community that knows everyone has a stake in taking down the number of cases of domestic violence.
